　　Overseas network November 6 th　On November 5th, local time, on the National Highway (NH-44) in India, farmers besieged the Ladhowal toll plaza to protest the new central agricultural law. Truck drivers also joined the protest team, and they parked their cars in the middle of the road. A large number of commuters were stranded at the scene.

　　According to the Hindustan Times reported on November 6, the protest started at noon and lasted until 4 pm, lasting about 4 hours. Dida Singh, chairman of the Ludiana Freight Transport Association, said, "We have always stood on the side of farmers and will continue to support them until the agricultural law is abolished or amended to benefit farmers."

　　At the same time, many commuters who commute by bus or rickshaw complain about this. They think that protests can’t affect the normal life of ordinary people. The police set up a diversion to cope with the scene, but there was still a long traffic jam in the area. Some commuters walked to the other side of Sutter Lequi Bridge, hoping to leave the scene by another public transport.

　　According to reports, almost no one wore masks at the protest site and kept a safe social distance. Many farmers’ representatives claimed that the government deliberately launched the second wave of Covid-19 to curb farmers’ protests.

　　According to the report, the recent peasant protests in India have also aggravated the tension between industrialists and farmers, because the train suspension has put Ludiana in trouble. "Due to the shortage of raw materials, factories closed and 100,000 workers lost their jobs," said Jin Daer, chairman of the Industry and Trade Forum. "Farmers should March on Delhi. We will support them then. " (Overseas network Yan Pei)
